Sauna Day
Alternative title: Sannapäiv

Directed by Anna Hints & Tushar Prakash

The world of Southern Estonian men who go to the dark-intimate space of a smoke sauna after a hard day's work. Beneath their tough exteriors lies a desire for connection, veiled in secrecy.

This film is not currently available to watch online. It may be awaiting release or may no longer be available on any known streaming service.

Sauna Day makes masculinity feel almost architectural: hard surfaces, trapped heat and bodies placed side by side without much language for what passes between them. Anna Hints and Tushar Prakash build the short film around an Estonian smoke sauna where physical ritual says more than conversation. Ants Tammik’s photography is extraordinary, turning sweat, steam and skin into something both earthy and charged with homoerotic tension.
